Introduction: Tuberculosis is one of the diseases with the greatest impact on morbidity and mortality in Brazil, with a high number of new cases every year. It is an airborne disease caused by species that make up the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. The most frequent extrapulmonary affections are pleural, lymph node, urogenital and meningoencephalic. Objectives: To analyze the epidemiological profile of new cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in the Metropolitan Region of Belém between 2016-2020. Methodology: The research was descriptive, with an analytical and cross-sectional study carried out through the analysis of secondary basic data, indicators and notifications of extrapulmonary tuberculosis made available at the Informatics Department of the Brazilian Unified Health System (DATASUS) - Disease Information System of Notification (SINAN). In the period from 2016 to 2020. Results: Belém is responsible for 82.36% of cases between 2016-2020, equivalent to 1,168 of the population detected with extrapulmonary tuberculosis. In the regions of Marituba and Santa Bárbara do Pará, there has been an upward trend in the last year, with the municipality of Marituba showing the highest detection rates of extrapulmonary tuberculosis per 100,000 inhabitants. It is noted that in all years between 2016-2020 women had the highest rates, with almost 17% in 2019. However, men also had the highest rate in 2019, with 12%. It is also noticed that the rates between 2019-2020 are declining, but there is still a rising municipality in the male population. It is evident that the Pleural form is the most prevalent with 48% of cases, followed by the Peripheral Ganglional form, responsible for 22%. The year 2019 has the highest number of cases of patients immunosuppressed by HIV, with 23.95% of the total cases. Conclusion: In the Metropolitan Region, incidence rates continue to rise, although the capital has reduced the number of cases in the last year.

INTRODUCTION: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by aerobic gram-negative bacteria, and those belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis group are those that cause the disease in humans. The most common form is pulmonary, and there may be extrapulmonary forms. Factors such as diabetes, HIV infection, alcohol consumption, smoking favor TB illness. The physician plays an important role in prevention, diagnosis and treatment. As of 2019, TB control strategies were impacted by the pandemic caused by COVID-19. OBJECTIVE: To describe the epidemiological profile of tuberculosis in the city of Belém, between the years 2019 and 2021. METHOD: This is an epidemiological, retrospective descriptive study with a quantitative approach. The data used were obtained from the DATASUS platform, in the public domain, using the TABNET/DATASUS tool. RESULTS: In general, the data on tuberculosis cases registered in Belém between 2019 and 2021, from this study, agree with the global and national trend of reduction in the number of cases, recording a 27.8% drop in the numbers in this period. The reduction in cases was primarily due to the decrease in diagnoses, as evidenced by the drop in smear smears of the 1st sputum, sputum culture, rapid tests and sensitivity tests. CONCLUSION: The epidemiological variables related to TB followed the proportional decrease in the number of reported cases in the period between 2019 and 2021. The numbers of cases decreased in the period in question, possibly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the present study corroborated the understanding of the importance of health services in the identification of possible TB cases and risk groups for illness.
